ia-document-review

ia-document-review is a skill for Claude Code from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,811 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of document-review, MIT.

A structured review process for plans, specifications, architecture decision records, and other documents. It looks for unclear parts, missing information, hidden assumptions, scope growth, feasibility issues, and security concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review brainstorms, plans, specifications, and design documents, including documents with product, design, or technical concerns.
Why use it?
It helps teams find problems in a document before implementation begins. It also makes decisions and requirements clearer for the people who must act on them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ia-document-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to document-review — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Document Review

Improve brainstorm or plan documents through structured review.

Working rules

  • Assess before editing, preserve implementation-relevant constraints and rationale, and distinguish minor edits from substantive decisions.
  • A review-only request authorizes findings, not file edits. Apply changes only when the user has requested editing or approved the proposed changes; do not ask again for changes already authorized.

Step 1: Get the Document

If a document path is provided: Read it, then proceed to Step 2.

If no document is specified: Ask which document to review, or look for the most recent brainstorm/plan in docs/brainstorms/ or docs/plans/.

Step 2: Assess

Read through the document and ask:

  • What is unclear?
  • What is unnecessary?
  • What decision is being avoided?
  • What assumptions are unstated?
  • Where could scope accidentally expand?
  • Is this technically feasible with the current architecture?
  • Are there security implications in what's proposed?

These questions surface issues. Note findings without fixing yet.

Step 3: Activate Review Lenses

Based on the document's content, activate specialized review perspectives. Scan for signals and apply matching lenses:

Lens Signals What it checks
Product User-facing features, customer language, market claims, scope decisions Problem framing, value proposition clarity, whether scope matches stated goals
Design UI/UX references, user flows, wireframes, interaction descriptions Flow completeness, interaction gaps, accessibility considerations
Security Auth/authorization, API endpoints, PII, payments, tokens, encryption Auth model gaps, data exposure risks, missing threat considerations
Scope guardian Multiple priority tiers (P0/P1/P2), large requirement count (>8), stretch goals Scope creep, premature abstractions, features disguised as requirements
Adversarial >5 distinct requirements, explicit architectural decisions, high-stakes domains Unstated assumptions, optimistic estimates, single points of failure, missing failure modes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
